Marana High School is one of three high schools operated by the Marana Unified School District for the town of Marana, Arizona. It was established in 1975.
The school is the successor to the previous Marana High School (built in 1953), which became the current Marana Middle School.[2] [3] Since 1975, numerous additional buildings have been constructed around the campus. These include the newest gym, named the Patton Gym in honor of Coach Norman Patton, who coached the Tigers' basketball team in the 1960s and 70s, and the Wade McLean Swimming Pool, named after the former superintendent of MUSD.[4] [5] Many other facilities have also been added, such as a greenhouse, external welding shops, and portable classroom buildings, all branching off from the main school.
Marana High focuses on the contributions of the arts to a thriving culture and community, with pathways in photography, fine art, digital media, band, orchestra, theatre, dance, guitar, piano, ceramics, and choir.
